The FY 2016 Program to Prepare Communities for Complex Coordinated Terrorist Attacks (CCTA Program) is currently in the process of Close Out. The FY 2016 CCTA Program objective is to build and sustain capabilities of local, state, tribal, and territorial jurisdictions to enhance their preparedness for complex coordinated terrorist attacks by achieving the following activities: Identifying capability gaps related to preparing for, preventing, and responding to a complex coordinated terrorist attack. Developing and/or updating plans, annexes, and processes to address the identified gaps. Training personnel and the whole community to implement the plans and processes and build needed capabilities. Conducting exercise(s) to validate capabilities and identify opportunities for additional corrective action.

Fiscal Year 2022 Awarded jurisdictions used CCTA Program funds to develop CCTA capabilities across prevention, protection, mitigation, response, and recovery. Each funded community was able to create projects in the following four topic areas: (1) gap analysis, (2) planning, (3) training and (4) exercises. Awardees were not required to create projects in all four topic areas, but most awardees did so. The most direct impacts of the CCTA Program were the resultant gap analyses, plans, training, and exercises. Several grantees conducted broad full-scale exercises, including Indiana which held a multi-State exercise titled Operation Thunderstruck. This exercise was conducted in both the Jeffersonville, Indiana and Louisville, Kentucky areas and included over 50 participating organizations and 500 participants. The scenario involved a coordinated terrorist assault on a large scale gathering involving multiple state and local agencies.
